Thank you. Appreciate it!

I totally understand the concern around parties. The idea is definitely not to bring parties into residential buildings. I will iterate on this. Thank you!

Thank you so much. These are all super helpful. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this feedback. I'll be sure to dig into this.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'll def let you know when the time comes. Would you be down to beta test?
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @05:11PM (#42055640)
Haha what's your email and I'll add you to the beta once its available?

That's a great idea.

I think your right - hosting parties could present various issues i.e. building restrictions, HOA rules etc. But do think it could work if the event is not necessarily a party? Say for instance your a suburban mom and your looking for a play date for your kids for Friday afternoon. You hop on the app and you can see which families are hosting a play date on Friday. Think of it as an app that tells you in real time what events are happening in either your immediate vicinity or a specific area of interest.

I think its clear you didn't read the entire post. But thank you for your contribution.

The sassy tone is really not necessary. Also, airbnb's entire business is predicated on inviting strangers into your house. Do you have anything else?
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Monday November 04, 2024 @06:05PM (#42046993)
The idea is that you can open the app at any time and see what events are happening IRL in your location. Would that be something you'd find useful?

Yeah, your right. There are certainly some regulatory challenges with liquor and if a host a serving food. But to get around the liquor license issue, it could be byob. The events also do not necessarily have to involve a party - it could be other events focused around a theme or activity.

Bouncers for hosts would probably not be necessary. I've used airbnb experiences before and this is basically the same concept. Airbnb doesn't have bouncers for their hosts. The ability to leave reviews by both hosts and guests would deter bad behavior. But this is an issue I need to dig deeper into.

Thank you! And yes, those concerns are valid. Though I'm envisioning the use case to be wider than just a party. It could be hosting a book club, kids play date, a movie night etc. Would you be interested in beta testing it?
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Monday November 04, 2024 @05:57PM (#42046942)
For sure. What's a good email address I can reach out at?
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Monday November 04, 2024 @05:57PM (#42046936)
Could you elaborate why not?
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Monday November 04, 2024 @05:54PM (#42046913)
awesome, stay tuned
Re:Is this an idea worth pursuing or not? on Monday November 04, 2024 @03:12PM (#42045559)
yeah exactly. Would you be down to beta test the product once available?

Is this an idea worth pursuing or not?

The social scene in big cities like New York or LA can be daunting. Drinks are expensive, places can be crowded, lines long and the service sucks. So I was thinking, what if you have a platform that enables people to turn ordinary private spaces such as their home (or really anywhere) into social settings? For instance, turn your apartment into a bar with 4 tables and guests can reserve a spot...
